JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM ORAL ORDER In all these batch of petitions, the petitioners who claim to be the depositors, are now issued with notices/summons under Section 3(1)(a), 6(2)(c) and 6(2)(j) of Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors in Financial Establishments Act, 2004 and by way of summons the authority has now called upon the depositors for production of information and documents. 2. The summons are issued in all these batch of petitions on the premise that depositors have withdrawn excess amount contrary to the deposits made by them. Therefore, this Court is of the view that mere issuance of notice does not contemplate coercive steps. Further the freezing of accounts pursuant to summons issued under the above said Sections also does not contemplate - 52 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17905 WP No. 30858 of 2025 C/W WP No. 25084 of 2025 WP No. 25108 of 2025 AND 45 OTHERS coercive action. The authority is only apprehending that withdrawals are exorbitant and contrary to the deposits made. Therefore, since summons are issued only to appear before the first respondent calling upon all these depositors to furnish attested copy of the documents indicated in the summons/notices, this Court is of the view that the depositors' claim vis-a-vis the claim made by the authorities that the withdrawals are in excess of the deposits cannot be examined under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The authority is vested with power to inspect, enquire into the quantum of deposits made by each of the depositors and if in a given set of cases, it is found by the authority that payments were made in excess, the above said Act contemplates appropriate recovery and the procedure is provided under the Act to make recovery, in the event it is found that there is an excess withdrawal made by each of the depositors. Therefore, reserving liberty to all these petitioners to - 53 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17905 WP No. 30858 of 2025 C/W WP No. 25084 of 2025 WP No. 25108 of 2025 AND 45 OTHERS furnish the documents as indicated in the notice, the writ petitions are liable to be disposed of. 3. Accordingly, this Court proceeds to pass the following: ORDER (i) The writ petitions stand disposed of. (ii) Liberty is reserved to the petitioners to tender a detailed explanation by furnishing all the documents indicated in the notices/summons. (iii) On receipt of explanation by each of the depositors, the authorities shall ensure that there shall be a speedy inquiry. (iv) In the event, the amount withdrawn by the depositors is proportionate to the deposits made at the first instance, the accounts of such depositors shall be defreezed forthwith. If there is excess money - 54 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:17905 WP No. 30858 of 2025 C/W WP No. 25084 of 2025 WP No. 25108 of 2025 AND 45 OTHERS received by the depositors, necessary action shall be contemplated against such depositors strictly in accordance with the Act. (v) All contentions are kept open. Sd/- (SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM) JUDGE ALB List No.: 2 Sl No.: 109
